Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Following are the symptoms of hypertension.
1. Headache
2. Dizziness, blurring of vision, vomiting.
3. Tachycardia, palpitations
4. Sweating, chest pain.
Since you are strong family history of hypertension and in post menopausal age, possibility of hypertension is more in your case.
So start antihypertensive drug according to your doctor's prescription even if you are not having these symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
